Okay,<BR> I'm reading my old C++ textbooks from college and they all talk about dynamic memory allocation. We all know that when creating objects at compile time that they will be allocated to the ...

Back when I was deep into building embedded control systems (and snow was always 20 feet deep and going to and from school was up hill both ways), the use of dynamic memory allocation was forbidden.

As someone who has spent over two decades in the embedded systems industry, I’ve seen the vast evolution of technology—from 8-bit microcontrollers to today’s sophisticated, multicore systems. Yet, one ...

Last summer, I wrote a column entitled “Poor reasons for rejecting C++” in which I sought to dispel some misconceptions about C++. 1 Among the many reader comments posted online were some valid ...

Dynamic memory allocation / deallocation happens very frequently in many programs. A large fraction of operations on strings and dynamic data structures (lists, trees, tables, etc) involve allocating ...

The lightweight allocator demonstrates 53% faster execution times and requires 23% lower memory usage, while needing only 530 lines of code. Embedded systems such as Internet of Things (IoT) devices ...

As designs increase in complexity, the density of memories that they connect to has also increased. It is not uncommon to see gigabyte memories. Having large memories comes with its own set of ...
